Disgraced and Scandalized Texas Congressman Blake Farenthold is on the loose, Honey.
I’m not saying that I will post pictures of him every day on here until we meet our goal for Ballot By Mail Applications, but I am saying that if begging doesn’t work, I am not above threatening.
Check out our friends at Twitter:
Farenthold, I want my $84,000 back, dammit.
Thanks to TaTa for the heads up.
Welcome to The World's Most Dangerous Beauty Salon, Inc.
My name is Susan DuQuesnay Bankston. I live in Richmond, Texas, in the heart of Tom DeLay's old district. It's nuttier than squirrel poop here.
I am honored and privileged to know Miss Juanita Jean Herownself, hairdresser extraordinary and political maven. Since she does not have time to fiddle with this internet stuff, I type her website for her and you can read it if you want to. If you don't, she truly does not give a big bear's butt.
A lot of what I post here has to do with local politics, but you probably have the same folks in your local government.
This ain't a blog. Blogs are way too trendy for me. This is a professional political organization.
Sorry for my ignorance, BUT, where would he be if there are snow emergency signs?
1Damn! What in the world would bring him back to D.C.? He really doesn’t have any friends there. I can tell. None of them a dogs. And I D.C., if you want a friend, you get a dog.
2He’s wearing white for camouflage in case climate change drops a surprise blizzard on his ass so he can finally blend in! Guess it’s better than having to constantly be in the tank with beluga whales. The way his suit fits, he does look a tad waterlogged. He should just go back to watching paint dry for a living.
3Even when he’s wearing a suit, he looks like he’s wearing his jammies.
4I can’t tell for sure from the image, is that a seersucker suit? Too bad Ben Bradlee’s dead.
5No, Micr, that’s a “sucker-born-every-minute” suit.
6You got me! Sent
7“Sorry for my ignorance, BUT, where would he be if there are snow emergency signs?”
Old Fart (and I am jealous you got my nomme de posting before I could!): nowadays they just leave those snow emergency signs up year round. Partly because when it does snow in DC, some of the road workers take their phone off the hook and sleep in. I was surprised in the 60s when Texas started leaving up the “bridge may be icy” signs all year – which was a hoot when it’s 110 degrees outside, and in towns where road ice is only found if someone spills it from their drink.
And proof of my oldness (if not fartiness): probably no one under the age of 30 knows what “taking the phone off the hook” means anymore!
I’m sure Farenthold is lurking K Street, hoping some lobby shop is desparate for people who can haunt the halls of congress without holding their nose.
maryelle: I’m jealous about your “sucker-born-every-minute suit” reply. Remind me never to get into a battle of wits with you, or at least to be prepared for a lickin’ if I do.

I share your head-scratching at the year around “bridges may ice” signs when the temps in Texas prolly average 75 degrees F. For the 5 to 10 days every year we actually experience below freezing weather, the local bridge crews could hang a temp vinyl sign over a speed limit sign while they spread sand and etc on the ramps, bridges, and flyovers.
9Blake looks like he’s wearing a sail. Well suited for a pirate making off with $84,000 in stolen treasure.
10As a native of this (THE) great State, I have to point out that local norms would indicate Seersucker should only be worn by Huey P. Long and Colonel Sanders or possible Andy Griffith as Matlock.
11Mayhaps the former-rep got one of those good franchise deals like our ex EPA Director (and secret undercover (or under the covers) general of secret forces dedicated to protect him from climate change believers) tried to get for his missus.
That still does NOT authorize the wearing of seersucker by sadly underqualified individuals.
@Rick says: “Blake looks like he’s wearing a sail.”
Yeah, the only sail suited to him is a “Code Zero”. It’s an asymmetric spinnaker, the type called a “reacher”; an expensive sail only good for a very narrow set of conditions (making off downwind with the loot).
